That still wouldnt take into account why I got flashed though I feel?
Thanks for replies so far all
Do you happen to know if it was one of the newer digital cameras or the older ones?
There was a camera at a underpass in edinburgh that used to catch so many people, it would run out of film. It would still flash though.

That page mentions it happening for the older cameras only so perhaps that might explain it?You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means - Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride0 -
I must confess i'd have no idea. I do know its one of the ones that has been in the news a lot that does catch so many out!

Answer: We have spoken to Surrey Police and they have confirmed that there is a 1 minute delay tolerance when the variable speed limit changes. Of course this is just Surrey Police's procedure for variable speed cameras and may differ from Police force to Police force.0 -

It's a newer type - HADECS2 I believe, so completely digital. Be aware that these cameras are always active even if there is no reduced limit.0 -
